    I’m shocked, but happy, that they actually got jail time.

    4.5 years for the parents and 4 years for the son and his wife respectively. I think jail time for people like this is the only way we can make sure they don’t do it again, a fine is no use when you’re richer than god.

      Will they serve it though? They weren’t even present at the sentencing due to “poor health”.

        There is a thing called “international arrest warrant”. Of course they are rich enough to hide somewhere where the Swiss have no contract with, but I don’t think they would enjoy that…
